Solutions to Address the 6 Big Challenges of Hiring Indian Developers www.yourteaminindia.com
Overview In the post-pandemic era, the business world underwent a significant transformation. One which has stood out the most is the pace at which companies are ramping up their efforts to leverage the new technologies. Today, building agile, resilient, and flexible business models is the key priority. But due to the economic downturn caused by the Covid-19 global lockdown, quick scaling of teams at local geographies has become a challenge. Thus companies globally are turning to India- a destination that offers a large talent pool of highly-skilled software developers across technologies. In addition to being one of the biggest IT talent pools globally, it offers resources across emerging technologies, making it a one-stop-shop for all your development needs.
Highly Saturated Market Numerous companies globally outsource to India, so the market eventually turns competitive for finding, hiring, and retaining highly skilled labor. So, be ready for a false beginning and a protracted search when looking to hire an outsource development company in India. And, while in India there are untold numbers of skilled developers, there are also many unskilled workers. As an outcome, it can be challenging to find the right workers when you want to hire Indian developers.
2. Lack of Privacy and Security Laws 2021 was a blink-and-you-will-miss year on privacy and data protection in India. In the context of offshoring, you may worry about data security and the infringement of trade secrets issues or sharing of customer data with the offshore development company. There have been cases where customer data has been compromised or sold out to other companies. Therefore, the privacy of data remains an onerous concern while offshoring.
3. Culture Barriers There are wide cultural differences between India and the U.S. Some of these differences won’t impact your professional relationship and enhance the diversity of your business. However, if you are not acknowledged with all the cultural nuances, you may run into misunderstandings. So, it’s advisable to understand each other’s cultures that lead to better management and increased productivity. Another difference between the cultures relies on nonverbal contextual communication. In India, people build relationships as part of doing business and often use emotions to communicate their ideas.
4. Resource Backup Not Always Available Having a resource backup bench is critical to the success of a project—a readily available team to take over the project in case of any emergency and ensure on-time completion. But when working with freelancers, third-party websites, or even a small enterprise, resource backups are not available, creating a single point of failure for the project.
5. Communication Challenges Despite many perks, hiring Indian developers can sometimes result in dissatisfaction caused by engaging in outsourcing or offshoring operations without ensuring all communication risks are met with proper preventive measures. To be precise, communication challenges arise from two scenarios: Lack of Language Proficiency – The hired team, has analytical competency, but they struggle due to low English proficiency. And as English is considered the lingua franca in technology and software development, this comes as an unconscious bias for Indian developers as they are non-native speakers. This communication gap causes a major challenge when instructions get lost and developers cannot present their ideas effectively. Tracking of Work – In a typical outsourcing operation, you are usually engaged in a contractual agreement with another party that consists of clauses regarding the workload and duration of the project. Since working with a remote team gives you limited visibility of the ongoing operations, dealing with developers with poor communication ability can delay development.
6. Not Meeting Quality Benchmarks A common problem amongst Indian developers is that they lack curiosity. Despite having a large talent pool across technologies, one can see the disparity in skill-sets among resources. Rudimentary coding knowledge and a degree seem to suffice the saturated market, and most of these resources work mechanically without understanding what they do. This eventually affects the quality of the work compared to the quantity delivered in the long term. Besides, the Indian IT industry is primarily service-based, which means it initially comprises companies that work on already developed products by clients and offers.
